Before I start, some quick site news – I’ll be doing quick reviews of all the shows (save for TNA’s program, as our Empress of iMPACT, Drowgoddess will continue providing excellent coverage) in the DVR style, and they should be posted just a couple hours after the show – so no more waiting until the next day for a review! The change comes about due to a change in shifts at my job (where yes, there is still no power).
Anyways, Survivor Series picks after the jump! (more…)
Well, I waited as long as I could, but alas, this crap does not, in fact, write itself. The WWE writers probably did the same thing this week, because this show absolutely sucked. I’m not even going to bother reviewing it, instead opting to give you the match results instead.
First, there was Stephanie McMahon’s RAW Superstar forum. The only highlight was Santino rapping in honor of “the rapping singer Akorn (Akon)” being there.
Kelly Kelly def. Victoria for some ungodly reason. Victoria attacked K-squared after the match, but she was rescued by the rest of Beth Phoenix’s RAW Diva Survivor Series team, with Beth herself hitting her version of the Implant Buster on Victoria
Batista def. Manu, as if we didn’t see that coming. Afterwards, Batista told Orton that he’s hated him for three years, and he’s going to kick his ass on Sunday.
Stephanie McMahon introduced Hall of Famer Chief Jay Strongbow, who came out and waved. That’s it. Nothing else to see here.
Then there was more Orton/Rhodes talky crap.
Todd Grisham introduces us to Evan Bourne. Before Bourne can update us on his ankle injury, Mike Knox gets in his face – then walks away.
Shawn Michaels has had millions of tag team partners, but he’s teaming with Rey Mysterio for the first time tonight. Not only that, he recognizes Dolph Ziggler!
Miz and Morrison def. Shawn Michaels & Rey Mysterio in the only entertaining match of the night. Rey hit Miz with a 619, followed by HBK hitting Sweet Chin Music on him – but Morrison caught HBK with Sweet Chin Music of his own, allowing Miz to roll on top of HBK for the victory.
We get a John Cena video package. Want to see it? Tune in to ECW tonight and SmackDown on Friday, I’m sure you’ll catch it.
Jericho wants equal time, and Stephanie McMahon says it’s ok.
Kane tells JBL that he doesn’t take orders well.
JBL and Kane def. Cryme Tyme when JBL tagged himself in and hit the Clothesline from Hell on JTG.
Mike Knox attacked Evan Bourne backstage.
William Regal and Matt Hardy went to a double count out.
Jericho babbled on about beating Steve Austin and The Rock in one night and having beaten everybody else, and how he’s going to beat Cena this Sunday.
Randy Orton def. CM Punk in a Lumberjack Match. Orton hit the RKO after Regal distracted Punk. Afterwards, a 32 man brawl broke out to end the show.

Hello again everyone, I’m back to give you my thoughts on this week’s edition of Smackdown. Yeah, I know it’s Sunday, but going out Friday and Saturday nights causes me watch it on Sunday mornings. So you wanna know I what thought? You don’t, too bad I’m gonna tell you any way:
Undertaker vs. Chavo Guerrero in a Casket Match. Really?????? For some reason I thought it was supposed to be Big Show, so when I heard Chavo’s name I said WTF????
Jim Ross dresssed as a sailor- LOL funny
Tazz dressed as a soldier- Cool
Miz & Morrison- put them on either ECW, RAW or Smackdown and keep them there. I’m sick of seeing them every time I turn on WWE programming.
Some lame magic segment featuring Jessis and Festus. Like I said, it was lame.
Jimmy Wang Yang won a match. Yay! So what if it was by DQ, a win is a win!
Kung Fu Naki is lame, nuff said.
Khali Kiss cam is even lamer.
Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy & Rey Mysterio vs. Kane, Mark Henry & MVP- Good to see some Smackdown guys involved. This match should be on the big 3 hour RAW tomorrow, not the Smackdown before, because god forbid you have a 6-man tag featuring all Smackdown guys.
Vladimir Kozlov wants double double e title shot (which he does deserve). Triple H comes out and makes this a US vs. Russia thing and than I stopped listening because I can’t stand Triple H. (pointless JT fact- Triple H kinda looks like my younger brother, except my younger brother is fat and lazy)
Some John Cena is coming back segment came on, I push the fast forward button on my remote.
Divas match, fast forward button.
Undertaker wins the Casket match- Shocker (Undertaker is awesome, nuff said)
Then we find out as the DVR cuts it off (damn DVR) that next week, it’ll be Vladimir Kozlov vs The Undertaker and if Kozlov wins, he gets a title shot. Sounds good to me.
I know is may sound like I thought the show was horrible, but it wasn’t. The wrestling part of the show was good.
Well that’s all for now, see you all soon and those in the United States, go out and vote on Tuesday!
This week’s RAW review here on BoredWrestlingFan.com is dedicated to the memory of reader JT’s cat Michael. Sorry to hear about another loss to your feline family, my friend. Tonight’s show features CM Punk taking on JBL, Kane taking on Batista, and Kofi Kingston challenging Santino Marella for the Intercontinental Championship.
Full results and analysis, after the jump! (more…)
This review of Monday Night RAW on BoredWrestlingFan.com is dedicated to the memory of reader JT’s cat, Bandit (1995-2008). Tonight’s episode features a rematch for the World Tag Team Championship, as Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase try to win back their titles from John Cena and Batista. JBL has a challenge for CM Punk that Punk “can’t win,” and GM Mike Adamle says we’re going to find out what’s in Kane’s bag.
The Adamle era kicked off last night, and boy what a show it was. I told you guys that I think Adamle is going to be great in his role as GM, and if last night was any indication, I’m right. So without further adieu, you can get your RAW results and analysis after the jump! (more…)
Hooray, I finally get to watch a WWE show in HD! Damned Time Warner Cable. Anyways, same format as SmackDown usually is – quick results on the home page, full details after the jump…
